The BEST place Ive been to in China!!! Gubei Water Town is a holiday place / retreat for EVERYONE! Honeymooners, families, friends and even the solo traveler like me! There is so much to see and do in this beautiful water town from the Simatai Great Wall, and the most amazing FREE water fountain light show that I have ever seen to traditional chinese food tastings, relaxing hot springs, beautiful idyllic scenery, water boat rides, lively bars and so much more, you cannot say you were in China if you did not visit this amazing water town. Its like experiencing the whole of China in one town! And its only one and a half hours drive by bus from central Beijing.
